Submission Photography

Formosa

Taiwan appears as a layered landscape, where Chinese traditions, Indigenous heritage, Japanese colonial traces, and contemporary global culture coexist without hierarchy. Rather than defining identity through symbols or declarations, the photographs suggest a quieter process, built through repetition, proximity, and shared spaces.
The political tension between Taiwan and China remains largely invisible in the images, yet it permeates them as atmosphere. China’s territorial claim, and Taiwan’s de facto independence, create a suspended present in which normality and vigilance coexist. The project avoids direct representation of conflict, choosing instead to observe how uncertainty settles into daily gestures and environments.
